  1. New column "Last seen complete"

    A new column to know when a torrent was last seen complete

    like in emule or vuze: The Last seen complete column in the Transfer List shows the date all parts of the file were available.

    • Feed "Mark as Downloaded"

      Got 12 Feeds on automatic download..
      After import, uTorrent downloads freaking everything, without the option of just skipping previous episodus ..
      Thus a "Mark as Downloaded" would be awesome

      • add small notification over taskbar icon when torrent is added

        bascially just for us to know the torrent was downloaded and added successfully- i have browser download notifications set to off and utorrent's stay minimized when adding torrent option selected - still would be nice to know the torrent downloaded successfully and added properly.

        • No antivirus in Plus edition

          I was using uTorrent for years and I gladly buy the Plus version (it's only fair if you guys will make money off the huge popularity of your app) but I don't really need any features other than downloading. Keep it uTorrent simple.

          • Single torrent delayed start, not scheduling.

            Like many others I have a monthly transfer cap. Yet, some times I find more torrents then I can download within that cap. I would like the ability to delay the start of large torrents until the prior large torrent has completed. Much like the single torrent bandwidth limiting to control network utilization, delay or schedule a single torrent not start until the defined date and time without affecting other torrents in the same client.

            • Return an Error When Posting a Duplicate Torrent To the Web API

              As it currently stands, I need to decrypt the meta-info client side, run it through a hash function and run a comparison with all current torrent jobs by polling for them JIT style or keeping an automatically refreshed list of them, which is a waste of resources if that job info isn't used for anything else.

                • Add a next button to the featured torrent banner

                  I have no objection to keeping the sponsored torrent banner enabled, but what I find strange is that there is no easy option to clear the current offer if I'm not interested in it, so that something else can be suggested in its place.

                  At the moment there seems to be only one way to get a new suggestion, and that is to start the download for the current one, and then immediately delete it before it has chance to download, but this seems unnecessarily complicated when a simple "next offer" button would be far quicker.

                  • Why not install in program files for all users?!

                    Why not install in program files? Why do not you give the user a choice?!! I installed the program as administrator, but other accounts of this program and do not install fails. Dialog appears "downloading translation", next request an administrator rights (I enter admin password and click "yes"), and then nothing happens.
                    Please make it back, or provide the user's choice (expert installation).
                    I read the FAQ, but I'm not comfortable every time install it manually.

                    • Add support to ctrl+left/right arrow in the Add New Torrent Window

                      In older versions of uTorrent, you had only "Save As" in the Add New Torrent window.
                      You could quickly remove dots from a file name by pressing CTRL and left/right arrow to jump from one dot to another, in the file name.

                      In newer versions of uTorrent, you have now "Save in" and "Name". Jumping using CTRL and arrow keys is possible under Save In but not in the Name field.

                      I would like to see this possible in the Name field as well.

                      Thanks

                      • Allow for seeing global instantaneous transfer rate and client statistics.

                        Being part of a private tracker, this is important to see how often and to what extent my seeds are being used. It would be nice to be able to check via uTorrent remote the global transfer rates of my client, and also overall stats to track ratio and the amount of data uploaded/downloaded since last time the program was launched etc.

                        • alternate Download directory

                          I think the user should be able to define an alternate download directory. Where the files download TEMPORARILY if the primary directory becomes full or goes offline.

                          NAS/Personal Cloud storage is becoming more and more important, but its not always available...

                          the files should be automatically transferred to the primary directory if/when it becomes available.

                          It would also be cool if possible; for this folder to download the rest of in-progress downloads for syncing once the primary directory becomes available

                          • Include a per-file hash in .torrent files created by uTorrent

                            Some torrent clients support putting hashes of individual files into .torrent files they create. I consider this a very nice feature, but uTorrent as one of the most popular programs for creating .torrent files doesn't include them, so most torrents are lacking those hashes.

                            This has been requested in several other places, like the closed forums at http://forum.bittorrent.org/index.php. It would also make several other feature requests feasible, that are currently not possible thanks to pieces crossing file boundaries and hashes depending on the piece size.

                            A description of the necessary changes to .torrent files:

                            • Show selected "auto shutdown" option in title bar

                              Once you have selected an auto shutdown option, there is no way of knowing what (if any) option was chosen other than returning to options-auto shutdown in menu to see what is selected.

                              Adding selection to title bar would allow you to see what option is active with just a glance!

                              • Rebuild file

                                Suppose you have a local unfinished file on the harddrive, 43% finished; and you have that same file on another computer downloading (say 65% finished); instead of finishing the second file over wireless, just combine both files locally (use the same torrent client to upload one file, and download it to another file).
                                Could mess up ratio's though.

                                Or suppose you have 2 copies of a file, kept on 2 separate storage devices. Both copies get corrupted, though at different places, causing the program running the file, to crash.
                                To have a torrent rebuild file option it would be possible…

                                • RSS global filter

                                  Problem: Bunch of filters use the same settings, e.g. quality settings or download location. User must change the same setting over and over again for the filters in question.

                                  Idea: Ability to set global-filters in RSS Downloader. Every individual filter will then have settings for which global-filters it should obey.

                                  Result for user: Convenient setup, filter settings overview.

                                  • bitlocker

                                    Please incorporate BitLocker compatibility into uT.

                                    For example, the unlock password can be entered (and encrypted) into uTorrent (Options), thus when uTorrent opens and begins to download data, it can unlock the protected drive and lock it again when uTorrent is closed.

                                    Other options available could be alternative download drive/directory while uT is unlocking the drive, so downloads are not delayed and the data can be moved afterwards. Program uTorrent to create the alternative directory with access by "System" only, so that only uT can read/write data to that directory in the meanwhile.

                                    If these features were offered, I'd buy…

                                    • Batch move files to specified directory

                                      At present, multi-select jobs and click "Advanced > Set download location" cause opening the select target folder dialog for every job.
                                      It's a common scene to move multiple files into a same directory.
                                      So will uTorrent please ask user to select directory only once and move files in bulk?

                                      • Add cancel button in the Virus warning popup

                                        I found this problem when I accidentally double-clicked a torrent. The popup warning told me that this torrent could content virus/harm my pc. Nice, but I don't want to open the torrent nor Read More..., so I searched for a "Cancel" button, which is nonexistent, so I trough using the "X" button on the corner with resulted in opening the torrent. So my suggestion are two:

                                        1) Add a cancel button on the popup warning.
                                        2) Change the behavior of the close (X) button to cancel instead open the torrent.

                                        If I made a mistake about this post please point…
